1932
Imagine if a classical Greek profile decided to take a geometry class—that's the vibe of Oskar Schlemmer's 'Geneigter Kopf nach rechts'. Created in 1932, this delicate sketch strips the human face down to a dance of rhythmic curves and hypnotic spirals. Schlemmer was a star teacher at the famous Bauhaus school, where he obsessed over turning the human body into living architecture. The wavy hair and sharp nose give it an ancient feel, but the simplicity is pure Modernism. It’s a quiet, elegant study created just before the Nazis shut down the Bauhaus and branded his work 'degenerate,' making this fragile line work feel like a precious survival of a lost artistic era.
